The Not Just a Picture Conference was an opportunity to look at the activities and achievements of the EFC to date, allowing delegates to gain a good understanding of the collective knowledge about how the online, payment and financial environments are being exploited by offenders and the steps that need to be taken in the future to prevent the abuse of children in this manner.

This one day conference, organised by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre in collaboration with Digivaardig&Digibewust, aimed to shed light on the world of young people and technology, the risks they face and how the child protection community can mitigate those risks and help young people to enjoy the virtual world safely.

For its 2008 Safer Internet Eurobarometer survey the Commission targeted parents of children between 6 and 17 years old from all 27 EU Member States. The main aim of the survey was to investigate parents'; perceptions and views on their children's use of Internet, as well as on the potential risks they may encounter online.

The Eurobarometer survey presents the attitude of European Union citizens towards illegal and harmful content on the Internet and their knowledge of how to protect their children against it. It covers 25 Member States, candidate and acceding countries and was conducted in December 2005.
